Jean de Gamache

Jean de Gamache was a French knight during the Hundred Years' War. He famously said that he would rather forfeit his position than serve under a woman, namely Joan of Arc, but he was inspired by Joan's bravery at the Siege of Orleans. When Joan was wounded by an arrow, Gamache offered her his horse, and he lifted a wounded Joan to her feet; Joan told Gamache that she never held ill will against him, and that she had never seen a knight so nobly bred.
